Most of the leads did turn moltent then I removed the soldering iron. That's it. I didn't want to leave it on too long and create board damage. I did not use any new solder. I didn't want to make things get messy because this resistor is unbelievably small.

Interesting, good work! May I ask how you came to the conclusion that its mostly the RA6-resistor causing these various DIM-problems?

And second, did your soldering make any difference when testing it in the car?
